ACLU to appeal Quran ruling

GREENSBORO -- Officials with the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina said Thursday that they will appeal last week's ruling regarding courtroom oaths.

 

The ACLU had filed a lawsuit on behalf of its roughly 8,000 members asking the court to clarify that state law allows people to use non-Christian religious scriptures for oath-taking.

Greensboro Muslim Syidah Mateen, who joined the suit, claimed she was harmed in 2003 when a judge did not allow her to take an oath on the Quran when testifying in a Guilford County courtroom.

However, Superior Court Judge Donald L. Smith tossed out the lawsuit on Dec. 8, deciding that the plaintiffs lacked a legal controversy.

 

The judge determined that because Mateen testified that day, no legal controversy remained.

She says.... "she was harmed"   

Here is what she wants to swear upon:

 

003.028 Let not the believers take disbelievers non-muslims for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless it be that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking as it were security. Telling lies - is permissible in Islam!

 

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy. Murder - is permissible in Islam!

 

Aren't those teachings harmful? especially to a whole society should those teachings be fed to the children? - the very future of that society?

 

She used the part of the state law that allows someone to affirm to tell the truth while holding their hand upraised, rather than swearing on the King James Bible available in the courtrooms.

Mat 19:18 Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness

 

ACLU lawyer Seth Cohen said Thursday that the organization disagrees with the judge's finding and he is confidant they will win in the N.C. Court of Appeals.

 

"It's a shame that this matter cannot be resolved sooner," he said. "All we have ever asked is that people of all faiths be able to put their hands on the holy text of their choice. It's that simple. We don't understand why this is such a big deal."

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet '''the Unbelievers''' in fight, smite at their necks. {Behead them!

 

What part of that command from the Koran is 'holy' ???

 

And why does the ACLU make such a big deal over the Ten Commandments displays?

 

This is what the ACLU is defending -

 

In the Koran:

 

008.067 It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war [slay them first] until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. {Treason - in America

 

Article. III. Section. 3. - of the constitution of the United States

 

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

 

The ACLU is giving Aid and Comfort to a religion that practices Clear Treason! - on a level that a child can understand.

 

Why is America tolerating it? How wise is it to tolerate the intolerable?

 

For that woman to say she was hurt - is laughable. But what she wants to plant in American courts - is not laughable! Not one bit!

 

The issue surfaced this summer after Guilford County's top two judges turned down a gift of Qurans from a Greensboro Islamic center after they decided that an oath on the Quran is not a legal oath.

 

State law refers to someone laying his hand on the "Holy Scriptures," which they interpret to mean the Christian Bible. When the state Administrative Office of the Courts declined to intervene, the ACLU took the issue to court, arguing that the term "Holy Scriptures" is broad enough to include many religious texts. If the courts determine otherwise, the ACLU argues that the law is unconstitutional because it favors one religion over another.

Article. VII of the constitution of the United States of America:

 

Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven {that year signifies Only One Possible Lord for America] and of the Independence of the United States of America.

 

The US Constitution exposes the lies of the ACLU.

The debate has garnered national attention, and not all Muslims agree that it's a worthwhile cause.  {FOR SURE!!!

Such an issue will bring attention to the actual teachings of the Koran

Cohen said Thursday that the issue goes far beyond the Quran. For example, he said, Jews want to be allowed to swear an oath on the Old Testament.

 

"That's the one thing that's gotten lost in this case," Cohen said.

America was not founded by 'Jewish religions'.  Nevertheless...

 

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

 

Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt;

 

Jer 31:33  But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

 

Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin breaking the Old Covenant no more.

 

How do Jewish religions explain away those Holy Scriptures that are found in the Old Testament?

 

Hbr 8:13 In that He saith, A new covenant, He hath made the first old.

 

Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.  {Eternal life is at stake

 

Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Ye shall know them by their fruits
